Adobe Analytics Integration
The Adobe Analytics integration connects Adobe Brand Visibility with your organization’s Adobe Analytics data so you can measure how AI-driven discovery translates into real website engagement and business outcomes. After the integration process is complete, the data will be available in the Referral Traffic dashboard under the Business Impact tab.
By linking analytics data with AI visibility insights, Adobe Brand Visibility helps you track:
- User engagement on AI-referred pages.
- Conversion signals tied to AI discovery journeys.
- Performance impact of GEO optimizations.
This integration bridges the gap between AI visibility measurement and business performance analytics. Teams can now see not only where the brand appears in AI responses, but what happens after users arrive.

Connect Adobe Analytics to the Referral Traffic dashboard connect
The connection flow starts from the Referral Traffic dashboard as follows:
Before you start before-you-start
- The Adobe Analytics integration requires the paid Adobe Brand Visibility offer.
- Sign in with an Adobe account that has access to Adobe Analytics in the same IMS organization as the site you are configuring.
- Your Adobe Analytics product access must include the report suite you want to connect.
- You must have permission to manage configuration in Adobe Brand Visibility.
You do not need to create an Adobe Developer Console project or provide a technical account, Client ID, or Client Secret. Adobe Brand Visibility uses your existing Adobe sign-in to discover the Adobe Analytics companies and report suites you already have access to.
-
Open the Referral Traffic dashboard. The default view is Traffic Insights.
-
Select the Business Impact tab. If no analytics provider is connected, a banner appears: Connect to See Business Impact, with Connect to Analytics.
-
Select Connect to Analytics, which will automatically route you to Brands Management > Analytics. In the Analytics Provider picker, select Connect Adobe Analytics.
-
Select Connect with Adobe Analytics. If prompted, sign in with the Adobe account that has access to the site’s IMS organization and Adobe Analytics report suites.
-
If more than one Adobe Analytics company is available through your account, select the company that owns the report suite you need, then select Continue. If only one eligible company is available, Adobe Brand Visibility skips this step.
-
Review the suggested Report Suite and Page URL Dimension, then select Save & Enable. Please note the following:
- Adobe Brand Visibility preselects recommended values when possible; you can change either selection.
- The standard Page dimension is available as the default.
- If you choose a different report suite, Adobe Brand Visibility loads that suite’s available page-dimension options.
-
After saving, the configuration shows the Connected status. You can return to the Referral Traffic dashboard with Go to Referral Traffic Dashboard. In Referral Traffic on the Business Impact tab, the status should appear as Connected to Adobe Analytics.
If your company or report suite is missing troubleshooting
The connection flow reflects the signed-in user’s existing Adobe Analytics access; it does not grant additional access.
- Confirm that you signed in with the correct Adobe account and IMS organization.
- Ask an Adobe Analytics Product Admin or System Admin to verify your product assignment, product-profile permissions, and report-suite access.
- After access changes, sign out and sign back in if needed, then select Connect with Adobe Analytics again.
After you connect after-connect
- Adobe Brand Visibility backfills the last four full calendar weeks and the current calendar week to date.
- After backfill, data is refreshed daily with a pull of the full prior day.

AI visibility is only part of the story. To understand whether your optimization efforts are driving business results, you need to know what happens after visitors arrive on your site.
This video introduces the Business Impact view, which combines Adobe Brand Visibility with Adobe Analytics to show how AI-referred traffic translates into engagement, conversions, and revenue - helping you measure the true value of your AI presence.
